Analysis

Quality compounder

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth.

The price is fair. You pay 16.6× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 4% yearly growth; analysts expect -2%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is fragile. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
